HOW TO SAVE LIFE.

That is mere fancy trick, but a
useful bit of swimming practice, and
one that every swimmer should perfect
himself in, is handling in the water
person who cannot swim, To save
drowning person you must prevent him
from taking hold of you. As you ap-
proach him go under water, and if he
is faced toward you catch him by the
legs and twirl him around. Then come
up behind him and grasp him by the
collar or the hair at the hack of the
head and flop him upon his back. TO
tow him ashore, swim upon your back
using your feet and right hand for pro-
pulsion, aud drag him after you. II
he does turn and try to grasp you, hit
him in the stomach with your knee,
and hit him hard. If necessary, punch
his head and stun him. Do anything
TO break his bold if he grabs you, be-
cause if you DON'T both of you will
drown.

for the Democratic cause. Let them

They would consider it an insult to have

they are not good party men, and yet
how comparatively few display any ener-

their duty, or in promoting the cause by
individual ekertion.
There is too much at stake in this cam

From this record it will be seen, that
under seven years of Republican rule,
the aggregate cost of the commissioners
court was S7,o57.3S, or a little over
one thousand dollars per year, while
for the last seven years under Demo
cratic rule it has cost our taxpayers
S22, 7o6. IS. or S5,243.S2 yearly, OF
over three times as much as it did while
the Republicans were in power. Now
the difference in the amounts disbursed
under Republican and Democratic
administrations, considerable as it IS,
does not explain this excess of cost.
The fact is that under the present
Democratic road law an expensive and
unwarranted system has crept into
vogue in that office. The time was,
that a county commissioner disbursed
the monies of the people, and charged
them his per diem while engaged in
that duty and while sitting as a court
Under Democratic rule in Cecil
county county commissioner has a
rowing commission as inspector or ex
aminer of public works. He can start
out upon junketing trips over the
county, called tours of inspection un-
der our present road system, and row.
ing at his own sweet will, make
large time accounts in per diem and
mileage. The levy list for 1886 af-
fords excellent examples of these
charges. For one commissioner in one
year the sum Of $780, 40 was leyied
For another the sum of S0I2.So, while
for third, more industrious than his
other official brethren, the sum oi
S1,S56.7o was levied in one year.
These accounts for inspection or en.gi-
necr ser1iceS are audited and baSsca
ubou BY themselves.
While we don't impute personal OF
official dishonesty to any gentleman
who has filled that Office under this
system, we assert that it is demoralizing
and its tendency is to extravagant and
unwarranted expenditure.
1t ought to be abolished.
Any system that leaves it to the in
dustry of the official to fix the amount
of his compensation must be expensive
70 the people. 1t would be in the in
terest of the taxpayers of the county to
have the annual salaries of the men,
bers of this court fixed by law. We as
sert that the taxpayers of this county
need reform in the present system of
expenditures in the county, and that a
political change can alone secure it.
The Cecil Whig., 1887-10-29
THE REAL CASE STATED.

Any comparison of expenditures by
the County Commissioners during the
last twenty-five or thirty years, must
inevitably result to the disadvantage Of
the Democrats. But without troubling
ourselves or our readers with these fig
ures, there are certain facts which are
too plain for argument, and which are
conclusive in the contest this fall on
the commissioners ticket.
The debt of the county is 0s'e,- seq
enty-faf thousand dollars.
1t is said that the Court House and
Insane Asylum created this debt, but
both these buildings cost in the aggre-
gate only about twenty thousand dol
lars, thus leaving about fifty-hve thous-
and dollars as the excess Of eXpendi-
lures over the receipts, Notwithstanding
tile M-reS fo, ten years past haze been
the keas1eH es,er kNoaW MMIS county,.
When our democratic friends met in
county convention these facts stared
them in the face, viz: an enormous
debt, and each year becoming greater.
Their plain duty was to throw aside
faction, and nominate the three best
men in their party for commissioners.
This they refused to do. They were
deaf to every suggestion of the sort,
and there is not man in the county
from the Octoraro to the Sassafras, who
does not know that the three men they
did nominate, are wholly incompetent
to grapple with the difficult problem
which this debt forces on the next
board of commissioners. We throw
away for the time all elimination.
By some means there is a terrible
debt piled up against the county, and
the taxes are already too high in view of
the low prices of farm products.
How is the difficulty to be met?
Is there man in the county who if
he were in financial trouble would ask
advice from either Mr.. Keen, MIR. Ben
jamin, or Mr.. Jefferson? We have moth
ing to say against these gentlemen, ex-
cept that we believe they are wholly
unable to grapple with the great prob
lem which now faces the citizens of
this county, viz h0zo to sas'e the county
from baNhyubtcr.
The Cecil Whig., 1887-10-29

WITH the entire election mach
inery in their own hands, with regis
tration officers OF their own choosing,
and backed by the influence of fed
eral patronage, it is lot surprising
that the municipal contest in Balti-
more on Wedne sday resulte in favor
of the candidate OF Mr.. Gorman's
ring. But the gallant fight which
the friends of honest elections, and
better local government have unsuc-
cesstully waged in Baltimore, will
now be renewed " ith redoubled en-
ergy in the counties of the State.
The result of the contest in that city,
if it can have any effect at all upon
the November election, will be to
strengthen the determination of the
people Of the State to throw off the
political yoke of Gormanism. In
Cecil county at least, the partizan
followers of the ring" will have one
ground less on which to appeal to
Democratic voters. They have dr.
gued from the outset of this CAM
paign, that the defeat of Mr.. La
trobe in Baltimore would jeopardize
Democratic ascendancy in Maryland.
Mr.. Latrobe has been elected whe-
ther honestly or not, it does not
matter, and the force of that appeal
is destroyed. The Democratic tax
payers of this county, who are con-
y1nced that the condition of our
county finances demands a change
in local administration, and there are
many such-have less to restrain
hem from voting for the best quail
fed candidates, than they would
have had in the case of Mr.. Latrobc's
defeat.
The Cecil Whig., 1887-10-29

THE people who make the geogra-
phies tell US that the circumference of
the globe is $4,000 miles. Yet the re-
cord OF our court shows that Mr.. Eli S.
Sentman, a Democratic County Com
missioner succeeded in travelling about
one-third the distance round the globe
in his one short term of County Com
missioner, and for his little journey OF
1879 miles, charged the county ten
cents per mile, netting the clever little
sum of SSSS.9O. While he was
afoot, if he had changed his direction
and gone down through the earth and
happened to have struck Seff place
on the other side, he would have
brought UP in China. While such trips
were being made at the expense of the
people, is it any wonder the county is
i'm debt?
The Cecil Whig., 1887-10-29
THE BALTIMORE CONTEST.

The municipal contest in Baltimore re
suited on Wednesday in the election of
Mr.. Latrobe, the democratic candidate
for mayor, by majority of 4 ,3S4. In no
ticing the election the BALTIC. american
says that now the contest is decided the
Democratic managers do not hesitate to
admit that they were in great anxiety,
and were by no means certain of their
success. They owe it, in large meas
use, to the liberal use of Doodle, the de-
fects in the election and in the registra.
ton laws, and the valuable services of
the repeaters and ward rouGderS who
have again come to the relief of the
party when in dire distress. The Joy is
however, by no means unalloyed, and
the loss of eleven councilmen is the dis
turbing element. But it has been verv
expensive victory as it was. Money
flowed like water, and it was placed in
unexpected places. Early in the morning
the attempts were begun to buy up the
Independent and Republican ticket hold
ers, and, as the day wore on, it was evil
dent that prearranged plan was being
carried out. 1t was being done quietly,
however, and it was late in the afternoon
when the work began to bear fruit An
illustration may be quoted from the
Fourteenth ward. Up to five o'clock Mr..
Bankard's election was assured by a
large majority. The tide began to turn,
and it was only by the most strenuous
efforts of Mr.. Bankard $ friends to bring
out his full strength. The same was true
in the other Republican wards.
Most effective work was done by re-
peaters. How valuable their aid was is
shown by the fact that the Regular
Democrats lost in those wards which
have been ventilated in the courts during
the past few weeks, and the gains have
been i'll the wards which have not been
subjected to the pruning process. The
Independents attribute the loss of the
election to the detective registration syS.
tenn, and the disfrauchisement of voters.
They are assured that repeating has
been INDUCED to a very large extent. Mr.
f. j. ID. Cross gave as evidence of the de-
cisive work of the repeaters the fact
that, though the Hodges vote was 80, S97,
Latrobe has received larger vote than
Hodges, while Mr.. Bartlett's shows an
increase of 1, ,775 over Judge Browns.
Judge Browns vote was legitimate, as
was that Of Mr.. Bartlett, while that for
General Latrobe was larger even than
that received by Mr.. Hodges.
The total vote is as follows: For La
trobe, "a, S2z; for Bartlett. 80, 342 % Ogdeu s,
10. Latrobe's majority, 4,3S5. Two
years ago Hodges received 80 S91, against
2S, G67 for Brown. Ogden, the candidate
of Henry George party, received only | 10
votes. Total vote cast, G5,319.
